Come, Shepherd swains by John Wilbye — Lyrics

John Wilbye English Secular Madrigals Staff notation

Full Lyrics

Come, shepherd swains that wont to hear me sing, Dead is my love, my hope, my joy, my spring, Oh! she that was your summer's Queen, your day's delight Is gone, and will no more be seen, Oh! cruel spite Break all your pipes that wont to sound, with pleasure clear, And cast yourselves u[on the ground, to wail my dear. Come shepherd swains, come nymphs, and all around, to help me cry, Dead is my love, and seeing she is so, lo! now I die.
